Patek Philippe Nautilus

Used but mint condition Patek Philippe Nautilus model reference 3710. It is quite a rare model as it was not produced for very long between 1997 and 2005. This is the Jumbo Nautilus with Roman numerals and power reserve indicator at the 12 position. This is only one of two of the Patek Philippe sports models in stainless steel as Patek Philippe tend to focus their collections on precious metal classical style wristwatches.

The case was designed by the legendary and late Gerald Genta, which has designed some of the worlds most iconic watches. The shape of the case takes its design from a ships port hole. The bracelet and case are both beautifully engineered. Patek Philippe is without doubt the world’s finest watch making institution. They are the most highly regarded of wristwatches, streets above their closest competitors in terms of quality, engineering and craftsmanship and they are the most desired and sought after watches in the world. If one can afford a Patek Philippe, it is a prize possession that will last a life time and successive generations when passed down. Patek Philippe was established in 1839, and from the outset began to change the watch making world with the introduction of innovations such as the winding crown and setting mechanism, and setting records for mechanical movement precision which still remain unbroken. The watch has got a stainless steel case finely finished with course grain brushed finish to the top and polished case sides with crown protecting shoulders.

The case back is screw down with a screw down crown allowing a water resistance of 120 metres, so should be suitable for swimming, however water resistance has not been tested. The screw on case back has got a sapphire crystal displaying the movement ands naturally the crystal to the front of the watch is also a sapphire crystal. The movement is a mechanical automatic with date at the 3 position and central sweep second hand. Comes with original box and papers. Dimensions are as follows: Width is 34 mm excluding crown and 36 mm including crown, lug to lug is 36 mm. Ref. PAT 09. Price is £16,495 or US ,850
